#NigeriaDecides: How To Curb Rigging – Ex President Goodluck Jonathan

High voter turnout is the best anti-dote to rigging, ex president, Goodluck Jonathan has said.

Jonathan called on Nigerians to come out massively for tomorrow’s polls.

The ex president gave the prescription in a post on his Facebook page and tasked voters to shun violence during the voting exercise.

“My simple message to you is that if you love Nigeria, you must come out to vote,” he wrote on facebook page.

“The best antidote to the rigging of elections is a high voter turnout. Remember, none of us is greater than all of us.”

While cautioning Nigerians not to be negligent in their civic responsibility, he affirmed that “the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil”.

“As a wise man once said: ‘The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,” he said.

“You are all good Nigerians. I, therefore, urge you to come out and vote based on your conscience and conviction.”

“Now it is your turn to prove that nobody’s political ambition is worth the blood of any citizen,” he said.

“Shun violence, shun hatred. Come out this Saturday and vote peacefully for the Nigeria of your choice. Remember, we are all brothers and sisters born from the womb of one mother Nigeria.”
